Wow dude,
You are seriously misinformed....
First - of all this shifter is NOT a B&M shifter.
Second - the normal color for the base, is a brasssy color. NOT blue.
Third - right now the shifter is going for $10 less than normal price and it has FREE shipping...
Fourth - you can change a shifters color in your kitchen? Do you plan on using food coloring?
:stickpoke
It seems you are missing the point of my post:judge: All I wanted to know is what I was missing, I knew their had to be somthing different for a product like this to be called L.E.....Hence my post asking for sombody to point out what I did not understand. I'm 18 buddy it's not like I know everything in the world..I never said anything about the B&M shifter either, is says right in the topic title "GMM Ripshifter (Race)". I thought the base was blue and now I know it's "a brasssy color" sorry for my mistake...once again back to the point of my post of not knowing. I did not know that you could call somthing L.E. by lowering the price $10, changing the base color, and offering free shipping....but I do now.
Now about the anodizing this is not my work but a simple picture to show you how it works......
-Submerse part in 140 degree cleaner for 5 min, rinse
-Etch part in room temp caustic solution (lye) 10 to 30 seconds or longer if matte finish is desired, rinse
-Desmut part at room temp for 1 to 3 min if previously etched or alloy calls for it such as (2024 alloy), rinse
-Anodize part at 4 to 12 ASF for calculated duration at room temp, rinse, rinse again
-Dye part in 140 degree dye for 15 seconds to 15 min, rinse
-Seal part in 180 degree Nickal Acetate sealer for 20 min, rinse and hang to dry
Why would I use food coloring.....sorry to get this way off topic but I'm done.
I like the fact that people are introducing new products for us consumers to buy and keep it up. I just did not understand
